From the article:


“Corrigan said Baginski missed the statutory deadline for responding to Open Public Records Act requests 43 times in 2018 and 36 times in 2017, by months at a time in most cases.

The attorney said taxpayers are harmed because the borough has been a target of litigation related to people “deprived of their rights" to records. 

Corrigan also alleged that Baginski transmitted “inappropriate” and “false information” in response to public records requests and that he was found to have received about $20,000 in unauthorized overtime.

In addition, he said, Baginski played a part in providing water to a business, then gave false information to the borough attorney and residents about that water service.”
